About my Style

"Having started my wedding photography career in The United States of America, and having spent 10 years shooting weddings in New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida my natural style of wedding photography is slightly different to most you will see here in the UK.

Americans by definition don’t have the "English Stiff Upper Lip" and as such have never really gone in for the Formal type of wedding photos we traditionally have had here in the UK. American brides are very demanding when it comes to their wedding photos and want the entire day captured.  It’s not uncommon to take between 800 to 1200 photos at an American wedding. 

Why am I telling you this?  Well the answer is simple.  I shoot a style of wedding photography that has become part of me, it’s the way I was taught initially and it’s the way I have shot all of my wedding photography career.  The style is commonly called "Reportage" or "Photojournalistic” In recent years (thanks mainly to the internet) English brides have started to enjoy this style of wedding photography and English photographers have had to change and learn a totally new method of shooting. 

For me however it’s not a "style" of wedding photography its just what I do, and its instinctively the way I approach shooting any wedding.

I don’t want to be a part of your wedding day, I don’t want to direct your wedding day, I don’t want to change your wedding day and I defiantly don’t want to interfere with it, all I want to do is document it, capturing all the special moments, the excitement and the happiness you only get when two people who truly love each other become one couple.

On your wedding day I carry at least 2 camera's - One is always colour and the other is set for black and white. As you will see by looking at the photos on my website, black and white images capture and convey moments from you wedding day in a special way. If you don't like black and white images then please let me know prior to the wedding.

Your Wedding Album

The approach I like to take is to offer you a fantastic hand made custom designed wedding album. I only use albums created by the worlds leading album manufacturers. Every album is unique as I don't use the templates. I actually create each wedding album from scratch to make sure you get a totally custom and unique wedding album you will LOVE and Cherish forever.

I try to make each wedding album a true re-telling of your wedding day as seen through the lens of my cameras. The idea behind it is, that if you share your wedding album with someone who was not there, they would get the same feelings and excitement as though they were part of your wedding party. The images flow in a natural progression telling the story of your wedding day from preparation to completion.

The benefits to you are numerous, firstly you only need to pay a fixed fee for the time I spend at your wedding and not a price for each photo you choose. You get your album MUCH quicker this way, typically your album should be ready for collection between 6-8 weeks after the wedding, a little longer in June, July and August or other busy times.

When a bride / Groom chooses the whole layout it can take 8 - 12 months to finalize the wedding album.
